Bible injunction, "choose ye this day
whom you will serve," applies with
particular force. There can be no
halfway business in this matter. He
who is not for law and order is againsl
it, and such sentiments as appeared
in tho Nugget yesterday morning
.cannot be oonstrued otherwise than
as an endorsement of the lawlessness
that begot tho attempted assassina
tion of the "mayor of Tombstone
last Wednesday night. Tho people
are not fools. They will mark these
things down on the tablets of their
memories whero they cannot be eras
ed by the sophistical tongues of as
piring politicians. Tho San Simon
vote will not elect next November
as it did last. This fact may as well
be accepted now as later. Tho next
vote polled in what is now Coohise
county will bo on the principles
of safety to life and protection to
property. It is well to remember
these facts.

hokle, I understand Gen.
is sick this morning. 1
wonder if Corkhill is. I guess thoy
got moro than they wanted yester
day. It is about timo for Corkhill to
get sick and stay sick."
George D. Barnard, deputy clerk
of the Supremo court of Kind's
county, New York, took tho stand to
prove tho divorce of Annio J. Guiteau
from tho prisoner. Witness present
cd tho record of tho court and the
order of tho judge for his, witness's,
attendance here.
Scoville objected to the admission
of tho papers upon tho ground that
they wero not certified to by the
clerk of tho court, as renuirrd by an
act of congress.
Tho court ovenuled the objection
and admitted the testimony.
Very greatly to the disgust and
displeasure of Guiteau, Mrs. Anne J.
Dunniger, tho prisoner's former wife,
was called to tho stand, and Guiteau
raved liko a madman and appealed
in vain to the court not to permit
the witness to testify. Ho threatened
to rip her whole character if she at
tempted to testify against him, and
declared repeatedly that it was an
infamous shamo on the part of Cork
hill to drag her into the case. Much
to the surpiso of all Corkhill asked
witness only a few questions. Her
statement in reply was, "I never saw
any signs of insanity in the prisoner
while 1 lived with him as his wife."
Dr. Francis B. Loring, of Wash
ington, physician in charge of the
Eye, and Ear Infirmary, made an ex
amination of Guiteau's eye soon after
his arrest, and did not find an indica
tion qf disease of the brain.
Dr. MoLane Hamilton, of Now
York, had mado diseases of tho mind
and nervous diseases a special study
for tho past nino years. Witness
had made three examinations of the
prisoner. Ho found from accurate
measurements that tho prisoner had
a symmetrical and exceedingly well
shaped head. Witness found no ex
ternal evidenco of any mental or
physical disease on the prisoner. He
considered him an eccentric man.

well known criminal lawyer of St.

ground of insanity or divide the

been summoned to Washington as a

The Standard mine of Bodie,

Washington, Deo. 15. Secretary
Blaine's instructions to Minister
Lowell at London relative to the de
sired modification of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, wero sent to Congress
to-day. In effect they claim that the
United States' should have control of
the isthmus canal; that the treaty
forbids us to fortify or defend it by
military force; that the naval power
of England would enable her at short
notice to take possession of both
ends of the canal, to the detriment
of our commerce. The treaty should
therefore be modified on tho follow
ing basis: Tho clause forbidding the
United States to fortify and control
the canal in connection with tho
country in which it is located, should
be cancelled; tho clause in which the
United States and Great Britain
agree to make treaty stipulations for
the joint protection of the canal has
never been perfected, and should be
declared obsolete; the clause defin
ing the distance from either end of
the canal at which captures on the
high seas may bo mado by either
power was left incomplete, and has
never been determined; tho distanco
could bo dotormined on a liberal
basis whenever tho canal is complet
ed. Tho letter suggests that the in
timate friendly relations existing be
tween the two nations render the
present an opportuno moment to
consider tho question of modifica
tion. Investigating HliL-rinan

The Cow-Iloy Organ.
Editou EriTArii : Please allow mo a
little space to express my views of the
course pursued by 'the Nugget on the cow
boy question, and particularly on the at
tempted murder of J. P. Clum. And here
first allow me to sty that this letter has
been read to many of our best and leading
citizens, who heartily endorse every word
of it.
For a journal to make sport of, and pub
lish articles intended to be funny on such
an affair as tho attempted assassination of
the mayor of a city, is truly an outrage
upon decency, and an insult to the intelli-.
gence of the community. They make a
jokeof it, and publish their slurs; but good
citizens cannot look at it In that light. It
is well known that no bullion goes out
in tho wagon on that day ; neither does Kin
near's light stage carry mail or. express. In
fact, it was well known that the stage that
night had no treasuie or valuables on
board. Why, then, the attempt to stop it
that night ; and that, too, so near'to town f
Tho fact of tiring about fifteen shots into
the stage, and the cxclnmatiunawhich two
of the passengers heard them make of,." Be
sure and get the old bald-headed son of a
b ," explains it all 1 They were assas
sins seeking to murder our mayor, and to
do so even willing to murder a stage load
of passengers. If there could be any doubt
of their intent, it would be at once re
moved by knowing of the previous threats
made by the gang to murder, not only the
Earps, b-it also Clum, Spicer, Williams,
Fitch and iMckabaugh.
It is well known that the Nugget estab
lishment is owned by Hugo Richards ot
Ptescott, who allows the present publish
ers to have the use of it on condition that
they support him as a candidate for Con
gress. The'NugRethasso far identified itself
with the rustlers that it is generally known
as the cow-boy organ, and with Its support
Mr. Richaids will be before the people as
the cow-boy's candidate. Does Hugo like
the platform ?
The Nugget may think it is tunny, and
they aie so cunning when they write their
witty articles making merry over the pas
time and sports of their pretty pets such
as breaking up teligioiH services and mak
ing the preacher dance at the mouth of
their revolvers, insinuating improper mo
tivts to those who oppose them, and be
coming exceedingly hilarious over a ruce
for life made by our mayor to escape being
assassinated by them. All these little
pleasuntiies of the cow-boys may be ex
ceedingly funny-graphs, may be exceeding,
ly witty, but they will .never send Hugo
Richards to congress nor reelect the pres
ent sheriu".
The constant lepctilion of outrages by
this gang of desperadoes known as cow
boys is driving capital, capitalists and en
terprise out of the country, and for a jour
nal published in our midst to treat these
outrages with lerity n an Insult to ths en.
tire community. A Oitizex.

Tim O'Brien, Chas. Sawcrbery, J. W
Anderson and others: Gentlemen My
attention has been called to your card'pub-.
lished in yesterday's jssue of the Epitaph,
to my becoming a candidate for the office
of mayor in the approaching municipal
election. I have to say, gentlemen, that
I highly appreciate your desires which
are most gratifying to me in a personal
sense.
I deem jt justice to myself, at this
time, to say that I have no political aspi
rations, never have, nor necr intended to
ask or receive the nomination of any
office in the gilt of the people. As is a well
known fact, to my most intimate friends,
I have hitherto decidedly refused to have
my name used in connection with the
mayorality ef this city, from purely per
sonal and business reasons.
But, in defeience to the expressed
wishes of your honorable selves allied to
the importunity of fiicuds, I have, after
mature reflection, consented that you may
use my name as a candidate for mayor.
If elected I' will endeavor to serve my
constituents to the best of my knowledge
and ability.
I have the honor lo remain, gentlemen,
yours truly, L. W. Hi.ikn.

It will be stou by the card from .Mr. L.
W. Blinn, published this morning, that he
has consented to allow his name to be
used as a candidate for mayor. We can
assure the citizens of Tombstone thut if
they desire his services for that office that
they will have to belir themselves upon
election day, and see that the necessary
votes are secured for his election. Mr.
Blinn wants the office fio little that he will
not put forth any personal exertions to at
tain it.

Mr. D. R. M. Thompson, one of the

yesterday so that he could not attend the

think it doubtful if he will be out for a

Mr. Breakesridoi:, returned from

Mr. Alexander M. Womiile, will
known in Tombstone, San Francisco aud

succcsful in placing a valuable mining
property on hts late trip East. His rela

passed. Twenty years ago a list of the late
Dean Stanley's publications, mostly
sermons and occasional pamphlets,
filled many Jpages of the catalogue
of tho British Museum, and later
lists must have more than doubled
what it was then. If the Dean's
writings could all be brought to
gether it would probably be found
that he wrote more than any one of
his cotemporaries, not even Cardinal
Newman excepted.

there was a possibility that the $650,

because o'L th silver 'Sill, anil the
prosperity which hasu(fepeded sjnee
Is directly due to the cnlhge in val
ues which the silrer bill,, wrought. In
our judgment the answer to tho fear
that Europe will unload her silver
upon us is: "Let her unload if she
can stand it." The attempt would
bankrupt every country of Europe
except Great Britain, and would
make even Great Britain very sick
financially. Tho treasury of the
United States can hold silver enough
to be equal to six or seven dollars
per capita foi the people, and when,
as is now the case, almost all the in
ternal commerce of the country is
carried on by paper money and silver
coins, what docs it matter whether
the guarantee which is behind the
paper is gold or silver? A distin
guished writer on political economy
recently called attention to the fact
that tho purchasing power of gold
had fallen off eight per cent within
three years, and from it he reasoned
that speculation was rife, that there
was a dangerous inflation in business.
The truth is that the remonetization
of silver took the inflation out of
gold, and by lifting up silver to tho '
place from which it had been wrongly
thrown down, every article of com.
merce was lifted al the same time, or
rather gold was made to seek again
its real level. Of the two metals
silver is the sovereign, and the nation
which forgets this fact always suffers.
Silver is more naturally the money of
the poor, it is steadier in value and
more steady in its supply, and, what
is tho sovereign argument, the busi

A lley'H Composition on Fall.
From Cln lnnttl Saturday KlgM
Here is a boy's composition on
Fall: This is fall, because it falls on
this season of the year. Leaves fall,
too, as well as thermometers and the
price of straw hats. Old topers who
sign the pledge in summer, are liable
to fall when the lull cider-making
opens, for straws show which way the
cidW gdes. Husking "corn Is bne of
the pleasures of tad, but pleasures
isn't good for boys, I don't, think.
Old men want a little fun; let the
husk. A husky old man can go
through a good deal of corn, some
times. Digging taters is another of
our fall amusements. The way I
like to dig taters is to wait until they
are baked nicely, 'and then dig them
out of their skins. Most wintar
schools are open in the fall. The best
winter school 1 ever went lo didn't
open until spring, and the first day
it opened the teacher took sick and
the school house was locked up for
the season. Once in a while we
have a very severe fall, but nothing
like tho fall of Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden. Summer is mis
named. It should be called Pride,
tor doesn't pride go before a fall?
